Update

We are slowly but surly getting settled in the new house. There are still quite a few boxes to unpack but I figure we have plenty of time to sort through all of that STUFF. To be honest I was really nervous about moving across town and very sad to leave Henderson but I am adjusting very well. I have to admit I don't do very well with change. I am a creature of habit and I get settled into a routine and I find them hard to break. Its very peaceful on the Northwest and I don't find it as congested but I have to say its growing......

We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Kohner Jack Bawden. Over the past few days I've had lots of contractions but not strong enough to make it into labor and delivery. I still need more time to get ready. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow so we will see what she says.

Kaden and Kaiah are getting ready to start school. Kaden will be entering the third grade and Kaiah will be in KINDERGARTEN. She is so excited:) She has been waiting for this day for so long. They have been pretty busy lately. Last week they spent a few days in California with Grandpa Jack and Nana. They just returned today from Lake Havasu, again with Grandpa Jack and Nana. Tomorrow they will take off for California again with their dad and will be back on Sunday.

Tonight Kennedi finally went to sleep in her crib. For several months now she has been sleeping with mom and dad. I can't remember the last time I had a good nights rest. That explains why I am also so cranky. Each day I would say to Kent "Okay tonight she is sleeping in her own bed," and as bed time approached I found myself laying down with her in my bed. This went on for days. I guess I found some sort of comfort in that routine. As the night went on the comfort slowly started to slip away. Kennedi is a wild child. She was all over the place and her favorite spot was in mine or Kent's side. We were getting kicked, slapped, head butted, and the best part she would sit up and yell BAAAAA. That meant sippy cup of milk. I finally did it, but let me tell you it was not easy. Maybe because I am emotional right now being pregnant but once I put her in the crib and saw her crying hysterically I almost took her out and carried her into my bed. Of course I was crying too. It seemed the more I tried to comfort her she would cry even harder. I finally had to just turn around and walk out of her room. It took a few minutes and then she quieted down. As I am typing right now I hear her upstairs starting to cry again. What to do? Do I go upstairs and comfort her or let her cry herself to sleep again? This is really hard. I've heard it takes a few nights to get through this. Wish me luck, I have to be strong. Poor Kohner doesn't get one night in bed with us. I don't want to go through this again.

Its late, I should take the opportunity to enjoy the extra space in my bed and utilize it. Good night and I'll keep you all updated with baby news.
